30	!!Tropes appearing in this anthology:
31	* AndroidsArePeopleToo: In "Literature/AllTheTrapsOfEarth", a {{Novelette}} by Creator/CliffordSimak, Richard Daniel is a humanoid robot and servant of the Barrington family who has over six hundred years of continuous memory. Ownership of such robots is commonplace, but robots are expected to have their memories erased after every hundred years to prevent attachments and deviations from the norm.
32	* ApocalypseHow: In "Literature/TheStar", a ShortStory by Creator/HGWells, the story ends with nearly complete social collapse on Earth, due to a wandering star almost [[ColonyDrop hitting the planet]].
33	* DesignStudentsOrgasm: Curves and maybe circles are a recurring theme of the cover art, but why? Perhaps because "DasZeitfahrrad" translates to "the time bike", but you could be forgiven for not realizing that the odd machine on the cover was supposed to be a sort of bicycle. It certainly doesn’t seem to have any wheels.

37	* InterstellarWeapon: In "Literature/TheStar", a ShortStory by Creator/HGWells, when the [[SwitchingPOV perspective changes]] to the Martian astronomers, it's suddenly revealed that [[TheNamesake the titular star]] was actually a missile that had been fired from outside the solar system.
